A Bout of Rain!

Monnie and Ania and I went to Grand Prairie for the weekend and as we neared home on the way back, we passed through several bouts of heavy rain. Shortly after we got home, another round of lightning and rain moved in to St. Mary's.

In the end .27 inches fell, to make the monthly total 1.19 inches. A very dry month. The average monthly rainfall to date is 3 inches for July, so we're not even halfway there and the month lacks only one week to its end.

I watered Monday through Thursday this past week, because combined with the lack of rain have been the consistent triple digit temperatures the past week or so.

Here's a calendar of the month's temperature, etc. to date:

You see how we've had 14 days hit over 100F out of the first 24 of this month (today is still in progress), and the past 10 days were consecutively that high. I'm going to keep on watering in the early morning! It's 69F out right now, so I'm going to go water before the sun comes through.
